Learning the Language of HTTP for a Better Data Experience
summary
Maps HTTP verbs to precise response codes and why: GET returns 200 for payloads, 304 when unchanged to avoid sending data and save energy, POST returns 201 on create with the new resource, PUT prefers 204 for successful update with no body (or 409 for state conflicts, 412 for precondition failures, 422 for validation errors), DELETE typically returns 204, and use 401/404/405/406/415/500/503 appropriately to signal auth, missing resource, method limits, unacceptable media, unsupported media, server bugs, or downstream unavailability.
